A History of Hospitals in North Omaha

North Omaha has been home to several large mansions and estates, especially in its early years. Built in the grand tradition of the United States' wealthy families, they were intended to broadcast success, ensure comfort and secure lusciousness right after the pioneer era of young Omaha. Built throughout the area north of Omaha, these fine homes belonged to real estate moguls, nouveau riche businessmen, and old Eastern inheritors that moved west. Some were elegant and restrained, while others simply oozed money. None of these mansions were built to be accessible, either; instead, they all sat on regal country estates that were determined to be inaccessible to the everyman workers living in the city. This article is a history of early mansions and country estates in North Omaha.
